Cumberland Council and Westmorland and Furness Council currently operate a single provider substance misuse treatment model across Cumbria.
The Councils are currently planning their approach to recommissioning Substance Misuse services that will become effective from 1st April 2026.
To assist with this work, the two Councils are keen to hear from potential providers of service(s) who currently deliver substance misuse services within the UK, as well as providers who don’t currently deliver in this sector but who would be interested in doing so in future.
As such, the Councils are interested in speaking to all potential providers, whether clinical, LERO, recovery support, mental health, or any other provider who feels they can make a positive impact within this area of work.
Providers are invited to consider the information pack and book in a confidential and informal discussion by emailing John.Salisbury@cumbria.gov.uk (please do not use the expression of interest link within Chest – contact John directly as per the information pack).
